[Daniel Sellers]

Recap of DVNR Meetng of Sept. 16 2018


Sunday morning began as a great day for a motorcycle ride to our monthly meeting. A great ride with little traffic even after missing the turn off Rt 202 (I miss it every time) I arrived at Jacks with cars in the street and bikes everywhere in the driveway. Members were meandering around checing out the wheels. Jack and Kathleen Kimple hosted our September meeting in their usual grand style after planning and preparing a fabulous lunch complete with tasty dessert. Seventeen members and two guests were in attendance.

President George called the meeting to order before lunch while everyone was assembled on the back deck. George announced that the nomination of officers would take place this month because next months meeting is scheduled at Steve Rorer's storage facility. Club members grabbed their adult beverages and caucused to present their best nomination. George Roetenberg was nominated as President, Dan Sellers nominated as Treasurer and Ken Kopec was nominated as Secretary/ Legislative Officer all for 2019. No other names were nominated. With no opposition there will be no election necessary.

Treasurer Dan (me) gave a financial wrap up of the 2018 Gathering of the Nortons. This was the same report presented to the membership at the Red Horse Hunt Club June meeting. The club suffered a loss of  $ 1,281 but we have enough tee shirts for next year's gathering. The clubs financial report indicated the club finances are sound for another year.

George reviewed the meeting schedule up to and including April of 2019.
